The study room where City Lord Chu used to work was completely burned down by Xue Dongfeng. Hu Gui chose another room in the City Lord's Mansion and rearranged it in a decent manner.
Chu Yunyan and Ma Yunliang stepped into the door and saw a slender figure with his back to them, rummaging through a row of bookshelves.
This back was not only slender, but also faintly revealed an extraordinary aura, which made Ma Yunliang, who was not very nervous at first, start to murmur in his heart.
"General Ma, do you know your guilt?" When Ma Yunliang was pondering and didn't know what to say, Wandong spoke first. And the first sentence caused waves of panic in Ma Yunliang's heart. Chu Yunyan was even more surprised, and her expression became more and more nervous. According to Hu Gui, the new city lord should appreciate Ma Yunliang very much. Why did he ask about the crime first during the meeting
"I don't know, please tell me, Lord City Lord!" Ma Yunliang did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly bowed to answer. Unknowingly, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out on his forehead.
Ma Yunliang is by no means a timid person. He has never been vague about killing enemies and making meritorious deeds across the battlefield. Even when he was in front of City Lord Chu, Ma Yunliang had never been so nervous. But now facing Wandong, he felt trembling, and even Ma Yunliang himself felt a little strange.
Could it be because of Wandong's feat of killing Xue Dongfeng and eradicating the Phantom Forbidden Army? Ma Yun nodded secretly in his conscience. Being able to accomplish such two major things quietly is really worthy of Ma Yunliang's trembling.
"Hmph! You ignored your friends, left without saying goodbye, and broke their hearts. Isn't this a sin?"
"Ah!?" When Wandong said this, Ma Yunliang was even more stunned, feeling as if Monk Zhang Er was confused.
However, Wandong didn't let him be stunned for long. After he finished speaking, he laughed and turned around, "Miss Chu, General Ma, you are well."
"It's you!?"
"Master Wan!?"
Ma Yunliang and Chu Yunyan exclaimed almost at the same time, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, and an extremely strong surprise that was slowly building up.
"Isn't it just me? You two didn't say hello and disappeared without a trace, but it made me anxious. General Ma, Miss Chu, as friends, you are a bit uninteresting."
"This... Mr. Wan... what is going on? You... how did you become the Lord of Divine Thunder City?" Chu Yunyan had never been so surprised in his life. Not only was he unable to speak clearly, Even tears came out.
Ma Yunliang was also full of surprises and confused. The whole person completely lost his usual composure, and his expression changed again and again.
Wan Dong made the two of them sit on the chairs and said with a smile, "Actually, I arrived at Divine Thunder City a few days ago, but at that time, I found that there seemed to be no peace in Divine Thunder City. The Thunder Society, the Ghost Forbidden Army, In Qifeng Village, all forces were turbulent. So, I changed my name to Wandong and conducted secret inspections. Originally, I didn't want to have a showdown with Xue Dongfeng so early, but you two left without saying goodbye. I was worried that you would fall into Xue Dongfeng's hands. In my hand, I had to activate it in advance. Fortunately, with God’s blessing, everything went smoothly.
Wan Dong said it easily, but both Chu Yunyan and Ma Yunliang knew that a showdown with Xue Dongfeng was an extremely dangerous matter. What's more, Wandong was somewhat hasty, and the risks he took were even more difficult to estimate.
But Wandong did this out of consideration for their safety. Chu Yunyan's tears, which had just been restrained, burst out again. Even Ma Yunliang, a seven-foot-tall man, couldn't help but get wet in his eyes.
"Lord City Lord, you are able to do this for Miss Chu and the general. I have not said that from now on, my life, Ma Yunliang, belongs to you. You can throw it wherever you want. Yunliang will never say anything. !”
"Hahaha... General Ma, look at what you said. You are a treasure of our Divine Thunder City. The people of Divine Thunder City are still pointing to you to protect them. How can you lose your life so easily?"
Ma Yunliang paused heavily and said loudly, "Whether it's for the city lord or the people of Shenlei City, Yunliang is willing to go to pieces!"
"Young Master Wan... Oh no, Lord City Lord, you have avenged this little girl's bloody revenge. This little girl is here, kowtow to you!" Chu Yunyan felt overwhelmed with gratitude in her heart. She lowered herself and knelt down before Wan Wan with a thud. In front of Dong, he cried bitterly and said.
"No, no, no, no, Miss Chu, please get up quickly!" Wandong hurriedly helped Chu Yunyan up and said with a sincere face, "I regard Miss Chu and General Ma as friends, and I hope you two can also regard me as one." Friends. No need to say thank you between friends?”
"It is an honor for us to have a friend like the Lord of the City. However, you helped me avenge the murder of my father. How could I remain indifferent and not think about revenge? In that case, I believe that even my father's soul is in heaven. , and won’t forgive me.”
Wandong frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Chu, do you really want to repay your kindness?"
"Yeah!" Chu Yunyan nodded heavily.
"Okay! Managing the city and working for the welfare of the people is really not my strong point. If Miss Chu doesn't mind the trouble, how about leaving the livelihood sufferings of the people in Shenlei City to Miss Chu?"
"Ah!? This..."
"Miss Chu, please don't refuse. I have heard from Hu Gui a long time ago that although Miss Chu is a female classmate, she has great ideas for governing the country. When the Lord Chu was alive, he relied heavily on Miss Chu, and Miss Chu's talent was also great. It has long been praised by the people of Shenlei City. Although Shenlei City is located on the border, it is prosperous, and a large part of this is due to you, Miss Chu. Therefore, I have already thought about it, you and General Ma. With one word and one weapon, Shenlei City will have no worries! Hahaha..."
"Miss, I think the city lord is sincere, so don't refuse. Managing the Divine Thunder City well will be a reward for the city lord and the people in the city, isn't it?" Seeing that Chu Yunyan was still hesitating, Ma Yun Liang said with a smile.
Chu Yunyan said, "To benefit the people of Shenlei City, this is my lifelong dream, Chu Yunyan, and I naturally have no shirk. I just use this to repay the deep kindness of the Lord of the City..."
"Miss Chu! Please stop saying this. If you say too much, it will only make everyone more and more angry. The reason why I killed Xue Dongfeng was not only to avenge the Lord of Chu City, but also my responsibility! Since I am a citizen of Shenlei City, I will never allow black sheep like Xue Dongfeng to exist!"
Wandong's expression was a little serious, and Chu Yunyan did not dare to say any more, and said hurriedly, "In this case, I, Chu Yunyan, have no shirking responsibility and will do my best to manage the Divine Thunder City."
When Chu Yunyan said this, a smile appeared on Wan Dong's face.
He came to Divine Thunder City not to control the land and water, but to find out the secret of Bailong Snow Mountain. If you are entangled in worldly affairs, how can you do it? With the talents of Chu Yunyan and Ma Yunliang, he only needs to help from the side, which will definitely save a lot of energy.
Chu Yunyan was used to living in the City Lord's Mansion, and Wandong had no intention of letting her move out again. In addition, living in the city lord's mansion makes it more convenient to handle government affairs. After settling Chu Yunyan, Ma Yunliang immediately went to the Shenlei City garrison camp.
This powerful force of 200,000 people has been led by Xue Dongfeng for more than ten years, and has more or less acquired some bad habits. If Ma Yunliang wants to rectify things from scratch, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
Chu Yunyan and Ma Yunliang immediately became busy, but Wan Dong had nothing to do for a while. Thinking that Zhu Cai was still waiting for his explanation, Wandong raised his legs and walked towards Zhu Cai's inn.
Because of Hu Gui and Wei Tong's vigorous publicity, news of the new city lord's arrival has spread throughout Shenlei City. Others were running around and jumping for joy, but Zhu Cai had a confused look on his face. He was staring blankly as if he had lost his soul. His mouth seemed to be under a spell, and he kept turning over and over and muttering something. "Why did my brother become the lord of the city?"
"Hey, fat man, come here, I have something to ask you!" When Zhu Cai was lost in thought, a somewhat arrogant voice suddenly rang out, startling him.
Being interrupted from his meditation, Zhu Cai was already a little annoyed. When he heard that the other party was so rude and called him fat, Zhu Cai became even more angry.
"Which bastard is he? Can he speak human language?"
Zhu Cai cursed and turned around to look.
But before he could turn his head away, and before he could see clearly who it was, a gust of cold wind suddenly swept in front of him, and then there was a snap, and a burning pain came from his face.
Ever since he met Wandong, Zhu Cai's face was almost no longer his. He would slap anyone who wanted to, which made Zhu Cai want to cry.
Zhu Cai got really angry after being slapped again for no reason. He opened his mouth to greet all the eighteen generations of his ancestors one by one, but when he saw that person's face, he immediately swallowed his words. When he went back, his heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he screamed in his heart, "Oh my god, what day is it today? Why is this man here?"
Although his face was burning with pain, Zhu Cai still managed to squeeze out a smile and went up to him and said, "Third Master, why are you the boss? You always want to come to my shop, why don't you say hello in advance? Okay?" Let me clean up so that your clothes will not be stained."
The man whom Zhu Cai calls Third Master is actually not very old, that is, he is in his thirties, but he has a thick face and an unprecedentedly arrogant expression. His nostrils are almost touching the sky, and his eyes are swollen. It was quite diagonal, and I didn’t know if he was tired or not.
"Why, do you know me, Third Master?" The Third Master snorted and squeezed out a sentence from his nostrils.
"I know! Of course I know you! Who in this Divine Thunder City doesn't know you, Third Master? Haha..." Zhu Cai tried his best to keep his smile, not daring to neglect at all. People who don't know, think that this third master is the Lord of Hell who controls life and death! (To be continued)
